Since 1992 scientist's have been tracking what they have called the loneliest whale in the world, a baleen whale who doesn't travel with other whales, she doesn't even have a family. For her entire life she has been alone, singing and waiting for a response. It wasn't until recently that scientist's discovered what was wrong. Most whales sing in a range between 12hz and 25hz when they're signaling to each other and communicating among the pack. But this poor baleen whale sings at 51.75hz. She is singing but none of the other whales can hear her! Not only that but she isn't traveling along the normal route the other whales would be traveling on, so other baleen whales don't even know she's there.
If only she knew how many people were talking about her.
aw that's super sad! but neat ;-)
